Xu Hanliang walked around Wei Chenghe and walked towards Li Zhongwen who was behind him.
He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhongwen, how do you feel?"
Li Zhongwen's face was full of pride: "It's not bad. I paid special attention to a few points that others didn't pay attention to when I was studying."
Although Li Zhongwen and Xu Hanliang have failed many times in the past, it does not mean that they are completely ruined.
As long as they are scholars in this era, the pursuit of fame is a common goal.
Even though there are articles that criticize the imperial examination system, most of them are written by failed scholars who have repeatedly failed in the examination.
"How does Ziyu feel?"
Li Zhongwen asked a question.
"It's okay."
Xu Hanliang smiled faintly.
"Is it okay? You came out in one hour in two hours. I'm afraid you didn't even finish the test paper."
Wei Chenghe, who was still making public remarks next to him just now, now walked up to Xu Hanliang and spoke loudly.
"It came out in an hour? This test question is not easy. I guess I didn't finish the test paper."
"This imperial examination tests more than just poetry and poetry. It seems that this Changshu talented man only specializes in poetry."
"A talented man? I don't think so. I heard that his poems were written by someone in advance. This man has a close relationship with the organizer of the Ninth Academy Poetry Club."
"I think he doesn't understand the meaning of the scriptures. The "The Romance of the West Chamber" he wrote is simply a book of rebellion!"
…
Sure enough, after Wei Chenghe said these words, he immediately aroused heated discussions among some people.
The so-called literati despise each other is naturally the same in this aspect.
The reputation of a newly promoted talent is easily questioned by others.
After Wei Chenghe's provocation, everyone started discussing.
"Master Wei, let's wait and see when the results are released tomorrow."
Xu Hanliang chuckled lightly and did not continue to pay attention to Wei Cheng's congratulations.
If Xu Hanliang said even more words to this kind of person, he would feel like it was a waste of time.
Unlike others, Xu Hanliang does not need to think too much about poetry.
I already have thousands of poems in my mind, so I can just write one according to the title when the time comes.
So after returning to Han Shizhong's home, Xu Hanliang prepared to hang out at the team training camp.
Although Han Shizhong claims to be the head coach of the Hangzhou team training, which sounds like a big name, he actually has little power.
Lin Chong was still known as the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army, but in Gao Qiu's hands he was just like a toy.
Han Shizhong became the team training coach precisely because of his experience as a frontier soldier.
On weekdays, I teach martial arts to the Imperial Guards, and most of the time I have free time.
Xu Hanliang mentioned in advance that he wanted to visit Tuanlian Mansion. Although Han Shizhong was confused, he agreed.
In Han Shizhong's opinion, Xu Hanliang was much more pleasing to the eye than those scholars who only care about things all day long.
Especially when I learned that Xu Hanliang's words at the poetry meeting, "Why bury your bones in a graveyard? There is no place in life without green mountains." It really touched Han Shizhong's mind.
After all, he was a soldier in the border army, and he had the same idea in his heart.
If he could die on the road to opening up and expanding the territory of the Song Dynasty, he would naturally have nothing to lose in his life.
There are probably three thousand soldiers in the entire Tuan Lian Mansion.
After knowing the number of soldiers in Tuanlian Mansion, Xu Hanliang was also a little frightened.
The entire two Zhejiang provinces have not suffered a military attack in hundreds of years. In fact, it is not a big deal if there is no regiment training office.
If set up, it can at most suppress the peasant uprising.
However, the Liangzhe and Zhejiang regions themselves were quite prosperous in the entire Song Dynasty. It was even less likely that there would be a shortage of food, and there would be even fewer peasant uprisings.
Only then did Xu Hanliang clearly understand why the Song Dynasty was said to have redundant troops.
During the Taizong period, wars were frequent and there were only 120,000 troops, but now the number of troops has reached one million.
Even in the original Tang Dynasty, the number of soldiers probably did not reach such a terrifying level.
And the most embarrassing thing about the Song Dynasty is that the territory of the Song Dynasty is less than half of the Tang Dynasty.
Just as Xu Hanliang was sighing, all the test papers on the other side had been submitted to the examiner's desk.
In front of the examiner, there were more than twenty examiners who were correcting the test papers.
Most of these examiners are Jinshi in the past two years and are selected from various places.
The test papers have already been sealed and distributed to each examiner.
Although the Song Dynasty had measures to seal examination papers, there was no measure to copy them.
Therefore, many examiners have already started marking the test papers after receiving them.
But the test results this time were obviously not ideal.
"This, this is probably the worst class I have ever corrected. Why are there so many mistakes?"
"Although this year's scriptures and meanings are indeed a bit difficult, it's not that serious."
"I'll count him as a third grader for this. I'm giving him a lot of face. His handwriting is as good as a rooster crawling on it."
"Isn't this a test score? I didn't take the provincial examination last year, and I will definitely take the provincial examination this year, but I didn't even review it."
…
When these examiners were correcting the test papers, they were also mumbling something.
"Master Examiner, I got an A-grade paper this time."
Among the many voices complaining, a different kind of person suddenly appeared.
For relatively poor test papers, the examiners can actually handle them individually.
However, those who can be rated above Grade A need to be submitted to the examiner for review.
A tall man suddenly appeared among a group of short men, which naturally attracted the attention of other examiners.
Soon there were several examiners who looked in the direction of the examiner who spoke.
Upon hearing this, the examiner also walked to the examiner's side.
His eyes quickly slid over the test paper, and the examiner also nodded frequently.
"The handwriting is neat and it doesn't look like it was written in a hurry."
"The writing and science are clear. Even the topics in this corner of the classics and meanings can be remembered so clearly."
"I don't know who this talented person is. Is he some Wei Chenghe from Tianyi Academy?"
…
Several examiners who were watching were amazed when they saw the test paper.
They are clear about the difficulty of this question.
I didn't expect that someone could answer them all, and the accuracy rate was basically 100%.
One night passed.
Today is the time for the results release for the first subject of Jingyi, but some people have already learned the news in advance.
In this exam, there was a talented man with a quick mind who actually answered 95% of the questions correctly.
And through word of mouth, Wei Chenghe became the talented person who answered 90% of the questions.
So he waited at the gate of Gongyuan early, waiting for the news of the release of the results.
Many students from Tianyi Academy also accompanied Wei Cheng to congratulate him, wanting to share in the opening of this honor.
Xu Hanliang slept until ten minutes at noon before he could get up.
If it weren't for Li Zhongwen's urging, Xu Hanliang probably wouldn't want to see the list in person.
In his opinion, his accuracy rate should not be low, and he should be able to pass.
